President Joe Biden has threatened to veto the House's Department of Defense appropriations bill due to a number of provisions included in it.

The Office of Management and Budget announced on Monday that the administration “strongly opposes” the bill and that the president would veto it should it manage to reach his desk as is, though it has to pass through the Democratic-controlled Senate before that.

Congress is facing the possibility of a government shutdown in the coming weeks unless the House and Senate are able to come up with a deal to avert such a crisis. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has to appease the demands of hard-line conservatives while also creating a bill that would pass the Democratic-controlled Senate.

House Republicans added a number of provisions to the bill, which OMB argued would have “devastating consequences including harming access to reproductive healthcare, threatening the health and safety of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Americans, endangering marriage equality, hindering critical climate change initiatives, and preventing the Administration from promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.”

The Pentagon's policy on reproductive healthcare not covered by military insurance has received significant criticism from Republican lawmakers. After the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which spurred a number of conservative states to pass laws restricting abortion access, DOD initiated a policy that includes paying for the travel expenses accumulated should a service member or dependent need to travel out of state due to local laws.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has held up 318 nominations and confirmations of DOD officials in protest of the policy, which he believes violates federal law, even though the Department of Justice has found that it doesn't. The Alabama senator has faced criticism for holding up the nominations, though Senate Democrats do have a way around his block but haven't used the process, which is much more time-consuming.

The Pentagon maintains that every service member should have access to the same healthcare regardless of where he or she is stationed.

"Access to reproductive healthcare is critical to servicemembers and their families, and the Department’s ability to recruit, retain, and maintain the readiness of a highly qualified force, of which nearly 20 percent are women," OMB said. "Prohibiting the use of appropriated funds to implement these policies ... would, in effect, infringe on the Secretary of Defense’s lawful authorities to promote a resilient military."

In July, Biden also threatened to veto a Republican-backed appropriations bill for military construction, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and other related agencies.
